So, you know all the popular design shows that work with thousands of dollars for budgets that make us all drool with remodel envy? (I'll admit, I'm the first to grab the remote, a bowl of popcorn and plop down on the couch to enjoy them.) But here, in the real world of design-on-your-pocket-change budgets, my home renovations must fit the … [Read more...]
Upcycled Fabric Spring Hoop Art
Hoop, there it is! Since we're in the middle of March madness, I figured a little basketball humor was appropriate for today's post. Speaking of basketball, the highlight of my kids' spring break this week was having a FREE basketball hoop discovered on the side of the road and delivered to our driveway by their grandfather & uncle.

Happy New Year & Winter’s Here
Happy Friday & Happy New Year! I am finally getting back into the swing of things after our busy holiday season came to an end, kids (& I) returned back to school and we are finally all well again.

The Barn Wood Christmas Box
I have a slight obsession with big red barns - actually, I'm a fan of any ol' barn - but the red ones just sort of hit me right in the soft spot in my heart.

I’m Dreaming of a White Kitchen
It's finally here! December 1st! That means the "official" countdown to Christmas has begun. While some of you may already have your trees up and the entire house decked out from top to bottom, I'm still playing a little catch up over here. We were gone traveling over Thanksgiving for 6 days, so I'm a bit behind on decking the halls. But I've … [Read more...]
Simple Wood Block Scripture Holder Craft
Hi Friends! Its been a while. I wish I had a good excuse as to why blogging has taken a backseat over the past few weeks, but I don't.

With the holidays full steam ahead, I anticipate life will continue in this way, but nonetheless, I love the days I … [Read more...]
